We bought ballistas for a hefty price on the 10th ches. - 1000 gold pieces - and we just had three days in Mirabar waiting for their delivery.
The order's headquarters have been blown up, the members are safely onboard, and i'm protected from scrying and mind reading, apparently. (after the time I took to atune to it).
What did I do?
On Ches 10 evening:
A little chat with Tog'rak let me view a bit of his perspective on magic. I guess he is right when he says I use music to talk with magic.
On Ches 10 evening and ches 11 morning :
I had some time to send some messages home too. See other journal.
On Ches 11:
I visited the Harpers with Narvi (to be played with Filip)
I bought a shield. Not sure I'll need it, but it's a good thing to have. I can't use it if i want to use my lute and cast a spell, nor my harp/lyre. I guess if i go "mace + shield" I can use it.
On ches 12? or 11 evening? or 13?
A visit to the myconides' colony. I taught them what ships are and told them about the Aurora. They told me about how scary "not being able to communicate with a colony" and "the concept of a sky - no ceiling" were. It is different, but it makes sense from their perspective, I guess.
They told me how they like Magic, because they remember that they sometimes find pockets of it underground and feed from it. Very interesting.
I promised to do a "sending" to them when we found a good planting place for the pod. To their leader, they'll all now :)
I hugged them, through one of them. It's very weird and nice. Should still clean myself up a bit when back on the ship.
I talked with Leera about the books. I'll go to Roshanna and help her learn spells from the locked books we gathered, and then bring them back to the order. There is a lot of info in the hands of the order.
Lesser restoration is useful on drunk people, but they don't seem to like it when i do that... Roshanna and Jay might have a grudge against me for that kind of behaviour.
We had some nice halfling lessons/discussions with Drogo. It's so great to learn / teach a new language!
The cult has a lot of info on us, through Jay. And her other names (Lei Sundane). We need to do something about that. Need to talk to Jay about it. The half dragon's journal has taught me some. Jay's own details consigned in Ogma's book are also to be considered.
I would like to get info about a kind of "stop reading and spying" for people with a "bad" alignment. I'll need to ask about that in Waterdeep. Same about my harp, would love to enchant it with the possibility of fly or maybe something else... but it all costs money.
